Abstract
Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic granulomatous infection, caused byRhinosporidium seeberi, which frequently affects the nasal cavity and nasopharynx. Cutaneous rhinosporidiosis is rare and probably underreported. We report a case of cutaneous rhinosporidiosis in association with recurrent nasopharyngeal rhinosporidiosis in a 68-year-old male patient.
